Nicklaus Quotes

It's hard not to play golf that's up to Jack Nicklaus standards when you are Jack Nicklaus.

I grew up watching Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer.

If Jack Nicklaus can win the Masters at 46, I can win the Kentucky Derby at 54.

I'm not as far along as Jack Nicklaus was at this age, but I'm trying.

Jack Nicklaus liked to curve the ball by opening or closing the clubface at address. I never felt I was good enough to do it his way. I didn't like changing my swing path, either, which some guys do.

Nobody ever heard Jack Nicklaus say "I don't know" about anything.

A Nicklaus Design golf course is done by the guys in my company that I work with, that have been trained in my vision, and they do what they think I might do. They might come in the office and ask me questions and I'd certainly answer their questions, but I'm not involved in the site visits or anything else.

It is a big adjustment but I've always loved that old saying of Jack Nicklaus: 'I retired from golf to go to work.' That sums it up for me.
